HIV Positive: 58,000 Nigerian Babies Born Each Year

The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS has discovered that 58,000 babies are born HIV/AIDS positive in Nigeria every year.

This is according to the Executive Director of UNAIDS and Under-Secretary General of the United Nations, Michel Sidibe, who is currently in Nigeria on a three day visit,

Sidibe was speaking in Abuja after meeting with the Director-General of the National Agency for the Control of AIDS, Prof. John Idoko.

Sidibe said Nigeria needs to improve its testing facilities and the treatment it provides to its citizens to win the war against HIV/AIDS.

“If there is any one country where I should be today to be able to talk about ending this epidemic, it should be Nigeria, because if we fail to control the epidemic, it will be disastrous,” he said.

“If we fail to quicken the pace and reach people, we may not be able to end the epidemic.

“We are in a defining moment, Nigeria has been able to demonstrate that result is possible, that we can see decline on new infections, that we can see decline on the number of persons who are dying from HIV/AIDS, that we can increase the number of people on treatment.

“If we do not demonstrate that we are capable of achieving mother to child transmission at all levels of government and at every single place, it will be difficult. From data in our books, 58, 000 babies are born with HIV/AIDS every year in Nigeria,”Sidibe said.

“We need to be able to make sure that we don’t have those babies born with HIV. We need to make sure that we have a new generation born without HIV. With that you would have been able to demonstrate, like I just said, at all government levels.”

Sidibe called on President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that babies are no longer dying from HIV at the end of his tenure.

More than 69% of people living with HIV worldwide live in sub-Saharan Africa.

Just over 3.2% of Nigerians are known to have the HIV virus, however the real infection rate is likely to be far higher as many do not know they have the disease.

Only 21% of those infected with HIV in the country are currently receiving treatment.

Race To Understand Zika Virus Link To Baby Microcephaly

An urgent global race is under way to establish how and why the Zika virus could be causing a devastating spike in cases of babies being born with underdeveloped brains in South America.

Brazil has reported around 4,000 cases of microcephaly since October – an unprecedented number.

The World Health Organization has declared a global public health emergency in response.

But experts are unsure what exactly is behind the rise.

Dr Anthony Costello, the WHO’s expert on microcephaly, says finding an answer quickly is imperative.

“We must assume, given global travel and the like, that this could spread into many other populations as well.

“What we have picked up is a surge in cases of microcephaly in two areas where Zika virus has broken out. First in French Polynesia last year and now, to a much greater extent, in Brazil.

“We do not know about cases yet in other areas.”

Zika virus has now hit more than 20 countries and the WHO believes it is likely to spread “explosively” across nearly all of the Americas, making the need for fast answers clear.

Dr Costello says there will be a lag time of several months to know if pregnant women in these newly affected countries are safe.

The race is on to find a better diagnostic test and a vaccine and treatment for Zika as well as establishing what is making these babies ill.

Microcephaly is not a new condition. In the US, official reports suggests two to 12 babies per 10,000 born each year have microcephaly – that’s around 25,000 babies a year.

It can be caused by other infections caught in pregnancy, such as rubella.

Drug and alcohol abuse by expectant mothers are also factors.

And it can also be caused by rare genetic conditions.

The difficulty facing scientists is establishing what is behind each new case.

Research using animal models is needed to determine if Zika causes damage to an unborn infant when infection occurs in pregnancy and at what stage, as well as studies of pregnant women who have unfortunately been infected with Zika virus to determine the outcomes of their pregnancies.

Dr Costello said: “We desperately need to have better diagnostics for Zika virus so that we can look very carefully, if you get pregnant and you get infected, at what is the risk of getting microcephaly.

“At the moment we don’t exactly know what the risk is.”

He said although many pregnant women would, understandably, be very scared at the moment, they should remember that the risk of their baby having microcephaly was still very low.

“This is still a relatively rare occurrence and even if the rates increase, most women are going to get through pregnancy absolutely fine.”

Babies born with microcephaly can grow up to have few or no complications. The impact it will have on their life depends on its severity.

An underdeveloped brain can lead to seizures, developmental delays, intellectual disability, problems with movement and balance, hearing loss and visual problems.

Because it is difficult to predict at birth what problems may lie ahead for a baby with microcephaly, they need close medical follow-up.

There are things pregnant women, or those who are likely to be pregnant, can do to protect themselves against the potential risk:

·         to consider delaying travel to areas affected by Zika

·         seek advice from a physician if they are living in areas affected by Zika

·         protect themselves against mosquito bites by wearing repellent and covering up

The Case for Letting Go of Extremism (Food and Fitness)

We live in a society where many people tend to gravitate toward "black and white thinking" and extremes. The nutrition and fitness industries are fraught with examples of extremism in many forms. Everyday a new headline pronounces a certain food as "bad and ruining our health," while exalting another food and praising it's "amazing benefits."

These lists of proclaimed "superfoods" and "harmful foods" seem to change on a weekly basis- leading many people to be confused as to the mixed messages they are receiving. Further, popular fitness posts tend to favor a "black and white" mentality towards exercise, which leads many individuals to falsely believe that only a "intense workout" is beneficial for the mind and body.

I would argue that this extremist viewpoint towards nutrition and fitness is harmful for everyone. For instance, within the last few years, it was widely publicized that coconut oil had some health benefits. Many purported health fanatics went crazy in terms of eating an incredible abundance of coconut oil with every meal. However, eating any one food in excess can be unhealthy. Further, food is neutral and should not be labeled as "good" or "bad."

In Diet Recovery 2, author Matt Stone dispels the myth of "good or bad foods." Stone states, "Pizza is extraordinarily nutritious. It's almost a calcium overload. You don't have to drink kale juice all day to get adequate nutrients, and if you did you would obliterate your thyroid gland (kale is a goitrogen)." This demonstrates that any food in excess, even one that we deem as "healthy" can be unhealthy.

Additionally, viewing specific foods as "good" or "bad" often leads to restriction of certain foods, which may naturally contribute to later binge or emotional overeating. This is due to the fact that emotional or physical deprivation (i.e., eating the food while feeling guilt and shame, or denying yourself the food altogether) often triggers a biological response to overeat. When you deprive yourself of certain foods, your body is primed to counter this perceived threat of starvation by later consuming a surplus of energy (i.e., calories).

Adopting extreme views regarding nutrition could perpetuate or trigger an eating disorder in genetically vulnerable individuals. Eating disorders are the deadliestmental illness, and for individuals who have the genetic predisposition -- "black and white" messaging surrounding food can be harmful and downright dangerous.

Applying an extremist view towards fitness is another recipe for disaster. There are individuals who live their lives as a slave to their fitness routine and may meet criteria for exercise addiction. Seeing fitness as "all or nothing" may cause people to feel unable to miss a workout despite illness, injury, or fatigue. Over-exercising in a compulsive and rigid way can be incredibly harmful for both your physical and mental health.

On the other end of the spectrum are individuals who believe that taking a short walk "doesn't count" as exercise and therefore decide not to move their bodies at all. While, it has been well documented in research that exercise is not the "weight-loss panacea" that the fitness industry tries to make us believe, there are many actual health benefits of moving your body in an enjoyable way.

According to Dr. Linda Bacon, "Long-term studies show that few people maintain significant weight or fat loss by increasing their physical activity, even when exercise habits are maintained." However, exercise has been shown to boost mood, and improve a variety of health outcomes.

Even in smaller "doses" exercise can have a myriad of health benefits. For instance, a recent study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that a daily 20-minute walk could extend an individual's life expectancy. Just as dieting and restriction of food can lead to unhealthy outcomes, having an "all or nothing" approach to exercise could also be mentally and physically detrimental.

The real key to improving your physical and mental health in terms of nutrition and fitness is one simple word: moderation. It's such a basic concept, yet our society seems to largely have forgotten about it. Moderation is about finding your own unique balance when it comes to food and exercise -- while making a conscious effort to avoid extremes in regards to thinking and behavior.

An integral part of this is working to neutralize all foods, and also giving yourself unconditional permission to eat any food that looks enjoyable -- while generally attempting to be mindful of your hunger and fullness cues. If you are really struggling with this, it could be helpful to seek support from a mental health therapist or a nutritionist. It is also important to note that it is normal and human to sometimes overeat a food because you enjoy it -- and this does not mean that you have "failed."

Embracing moderation is not another set of rules to follow -- rather it provides a basic concept that will enable you to find your own personal "balance" when it comes to food and fitness. Ultimately, your body is smart and intuitively knows what it needs. The belief behind the evidence-based concept of intuitive eating is that if you are able to mindfully listen to your body, and begin to nourish it with food and movement in a joyful way -- it will guide you in the right direction.

This year, my challenge for you is to work to ditch extremist views when it comes to food and movement, and to embrace the concept of moderation. In the long-term, your body and mind will thank you.
